Thanks Matteo.  Apparently the "Cc:" addresses on posts are removed so
nobody sees them.  I put all the names on the "To:".

The Memtest86+ package only builds on 32-bit Slackware 14.2 and maybe
earlier.

I tried building on 32-bit Slackware-current and it built ok, but it froze
when running test #1. So I have to do some more research/testing...
